DMN Newswire--2012-7-18--The MXL AC-404 Boundary Microphone is in growing in popularity due to the growth of web conferencing among businesses and individuals. MXL, manufacturer of microphones for music, business, and personal use, outfitted the AC-404 with custom circuitry to produce intelligible, professional sounding web conference calls and recordings.

In November 2011, the President of the United States issued an executive order stating, "?to ensure efficient travel spending, agencies are encouraged to devise strategic alternatives to Government travel?such as teleconferencing and video conferencing."

Recognizing the significant cost savings of web conferencing, government agencies and companies in all industries are adopting web chat services as a means of communicating with colleagues and clients all over the world.

The AC-404 USB Microphone has wide appeal among businesses conducting long-distance meetings because of its clarity and performance in multi-person meetings. The AC-404 works with all web-based teleconferencing services.

The AC-404 mic can also be used to record presentations onto a computer for digital distribution to business associates or clients at any time.

"The MXL AC-404 is a very popular microphone because it delivers outstanding performance for the growing web chat market. Because of the three-capsule design, it makes everyone in the room sound as if they are sitting right next to the mic. As companies move from telephone conferencing to use of services like Skype, oovoo, and others like it, the MXL AC-404 is becoming a standard as part of the conference room computer setup," said MXL Director of Sales and Marketing Perry Goldstein.

The three-capsule technology incorporated into the AC-404 enables clear voice quality even with multiple users in one room. The AC-404 has 180 degree pickup to capture sound from three sides. The echo canceling feature prevents the remote user from hearing his or her voice repeated back through the microphone.

The AC-404 is compatible with PC and MacŪ. Its low profile design is inconspicuous and portable. The AC-404 has a standard output jack for headphones or powered speakers and it is compatible with any PC or MacŪ computer.
